Origins of the 21st Century backdrop

Origins of the 21st Century 2000 Directed by Jean-Luc Godard De l'origine du XXIe siècle

Commissioned by the heads of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival to make an opening-night short commemorating cinema as it enters its second full century, Godard instead offers up a 17-minute barrage of re-edited footage of wars and Nazi atrocities, interspersed with clips of Maurice Chevalier in "Gigi" and Godard's own "À bout de souffle."
